I always used my dads engine hoist. Those work good if you happen to have one at your disposal.

I've been using an engine hoist for years and it has workedperfectly. They aren't too expensive but you just have to have a place to put it.

thank you for all feasible and applicable suggestions. Will be trying some of your ideas. i MIGHT have acess to an engine hoist, if so ill do that for sure. jack stands on the frame sliders will be my next angle of attack.

I used a car ramp and a t-stand when I changed out my forks.
